If the results are positive

The nurse or doctor who gives you your results will talk to you about what this means and what you should do next.

They will also talk to you about informing any sexual partners you have or have had so that they can also be tested.

If you prefer not to contact people yourself, sexual health services can arrange to contact your sexual partners to tell them they should be tested. This is done anonymously and no details about you are revealed.

Remember, most STIs can be treated and those that can't be cured can be managed to keep you healthy.
